This is the large size dotar used in Uyghur communities in Central Asia. This particular instrument is from the community in Kazakhstan, not China. It has a deep and rich full sound. I replaced the stock strings with Japanese silk strings which are quite superior in every way. Beautiful full bass tone and very clear. Plays like butter! The size is…52” long, 10.5” wide and 8” deep. Body and soundboard are mulberry and the neck seems to be pine or spruce. Great lightly used condition. See photos. Free shipping!
